Belousov-Zhabotinsky "Chemical Neuron" as a Binary and Fuzzy Logic Processor
نویسندگان
چکیده
We demonstrate experimentally that the well-known oscillatory BelousovZhabotinsky (BZ) reaction can be exploited to process both Boolean and fuzzy logic if the input variables are either the volumes or the phase of addition of pulse-injected solutions of inhibitor (bromide) and activator (silver ion) and the output variable is the oscillation period. Analysis of the relations between the input and the output variables reveals that this oscillating chemical reaction is suitable to process infinite-valued fuzzy logic, and that all fundamental fuzzy logic operators (AND, OR, NOT) can be implemented with it. We discuss the possibility for biological oscillators such as neurons or pacemaker cells to process information using principles of fuzzy logic.

Tutorial Review: Simulation of Oscillating Chemical Reactions Using Microsoft Excel Macros
Oscillating reactions are one of the most interesting topics in chemistry and analytical chemistry. Fluctuations in concentrations of one the reacting species (usually a reaction intermediate) create an oscillating chemical reaction. In oscillating systems, the reaction is far from thermodynamic equilibrium. In these systems, at least one autocatalytic step is required. Developing an instinctiv...
متن کاملImplementation of Logical Operations on a Domino Substrate
This paper presents some simple ideas about domino gates. Domino gates are implementations of logical operations using toppling dominoes to represent the movement of information (bits). The actively toppling domino represents a logic one, and absence of toppling represents logic zero. The domino model can be used as a representation of single-shot wave gates in unconstrained media, such as sub-...

For many years the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction has been used to explore the large variety of dynamical behavior of excitation waves. The understanding of chemical waves can be applied to other physical and biological systems. Most theoretical and experimental work has been done in planar media, whereas for nonplanar systems there exist many theoretical but only very few experimental studies. ...

We present a method that is capable of implementing information transfer without any rigidly controlled architecture using the light-sensitive Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction system. Chemical wave fragments are injected into a subexcitable area and their collisions result in annihilation, fusion or quasi-elastic interactions depending on their initial positions. The fragments of excitation b...
